Eli, you are an international goodwill ambassador. Your travelogues always shine a positive light on your destinations. Thank you! Enjoy the Vegemite & visit us again. 🐨

Really cool that you decided to walk the trails rather than take the easy way. See the nature instead of passing over it. I've done the same walk, in summer, many moons ago.

I adore your spirit, Eli. Clearly the words "no" and "can't" are not part of the Tartar vocabulary. Very good on you. Thanks for sharing.

As usual, Eli, you make video production look effortless and easy. Thank you for the content.

Its a made path because the alpine environment is fragile and a lot of people traffic use it. Can suddenly snow or get quite cold before November. Glad you have fun in our country.

Eli you are turning into real Aussie thanks for the great landscape pictures and you are teaching us about our own country. Thank you Eli.

My then girlfriend and I hike up Mt. Kosciuszko in the early 80s from Charlotte's Pass. It was February and we wore T-shirts and shorts. It was certainly no Mt. Kilimanjaro but when we got there we still felt like we were on top of the world. I'm very happy that you are enjoying your time in Australia. Glad to see those kids at the top didn't say anything nasty about Russia. They seemed especially polite. If I ever do it again, I'll be wearing a Marmite cap!

Eli, you make excellent vlogs of the places you visit, they are all such a treat to watch. I am glad you are enjoying your visit to Australia and having fun! Best wishes!

Thanks so much for taking us along on your wonderful adventure ! Kudos for not allowing the closed sign to ruin your plan. I always enjoy seeing you, and hearing your lovely voice.

Seems like you are really enjoying Australia. You are brave for taking the trail alone. Thanks for sharing your adventure and please stay safe. Take care and enjoy.

You are an impeccable ambassador for the vast majority of the Russian people Eli ! Videos seem to originate in your soul ... ty 💖

This mountain was named after the Polish/Byelorussian/Lithuanian national hero, Tadeusz Kościuszko. He fought in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth's struggles against Russia and Prussia. He led the 1794 Kościuszko Uprising.

You should visit Tasmania Eli. It's like a little mini-Europe in Australia

TASMANIA is well worth visiting, best scenery in Australia

Awesome Eli, the Australian High Country is amazing, but you should Definitely also visit Cradle Mountain in Tasmania, that is truly stunning. But don't hike there alone, as the weather is extremely volatile, and blizzards can occur, out of nowhere, even in the summer time. Looking forward to seeing your next awesome adventure, good on ya mate👍😎👍.

Really help me learning English this video.......

Most school children from the Eastern states do excursions (camps) at Canberra and the Snowy mountains, it's practically a rite of passage.

Australia for the beaches, New Zealand for the mountains. Hope you make it to NZ!

Eli, thanks for visiting my part of the world (I live in Canberra). In 1974, I drove an ordinary car to the top of Mt Kosciuszko. Later, the government tore up the road, to make it more of a challenge to climb to the top. The matting you walked on is used to preserve the soil and vegetation of the area.

You are an excellent guide❤ thanks so much😊

I remember going to Jindabyne and Thredbo as a school kid way back in 1970. Very pleased you got out in some of our Australian bush of what we call the high country.

You are a very good storyteller. Your Vlogs have a documentary feel. Very well researched, filmed and edited. Enjoying them 👍

Thank you Eli for this series on Australia . You have shown Australia the way it really is in ever way . If you come to Melbourne Victoria and you have time I have my only KZfaq channel where I talk about my passion the Agile Antechinus and Antechinus general , hiking adventures, wildlife adventures and camera stuff . I would be happy to show you the Agile Antechinus in its natural environment and show you around my office which is a small reserve in the Dandenong ranges . Cheers Derek

Super video. Really enjoyed it. A big hello from an Irishman in Thailand 👏👏🇮🇪💚🇷🇺

Eli - Thank you for another excellent education video!

Eli, You are the first person I’ve heard of that bothered to climb that hill, no Aussie would even consider it as worth climbing or even seeing. You are someone worth watching so as to see all those things that I’ve overlooked.

Thanks and greetings from Holland. No mountains here.

Good on you Eli. I love how you pronounced Melbourne correctly.Bravo! I did the Kosciusko walk in April.I caught the chair lift from Thredbo to the start of the trail.One major bit of advice,make sure you have well fitting comfortable shoes.The first lookout about 20 minutes in was where I was considering turning back,as the shoes were abrading my heel and I was in a lot of pain.I grit my teeth and kept going until the lookout with the toilets and a sign saying another 40 min ,one way to the top.That's where thepain was too much and I turned back.At age 56 I'm very strong and fit,but boy is the walk hard.To add insult to injury, the car park was over a kilometre from the chairlift.My heel was in agony and my hips were frozen solid.But just for the scenery alone it was worth it. All up there was 4 hours of walking, mostly up hill, so definitely not an easy stroll.My friend started the hike from the Perisher side and he said it is not as hard. So I plan at Christmas to do the walk again, but from Perisher, and hopefully complete the final section.I have since bought Saguaro Barefoot shoes so my feet should have no complaint. P,S. The day after I went and did the Yarrangobilly River walk, in thongs, as my heel was an open wound.The final 1/2 hour of that walk was pure torture.A long,constant .steep uphill walk from the Thermal Pool.

Having seen that part of Australia only in winter time, it was fascinating to see what it looked like in the summer. I can't believe you filmed this so long ago. Those kids were so excited to see someone from Russia

It's very beautiful and ginger. In Sydney, in your video. Hope you are having fun on your trip, around the Eastern hemisphere. Sorry if you are offended by me calling you a ginger instead of red head. My son Malachi has the same color hair and he completely dislikes being called a red head.

I really enjoy your videos, mate! You're always taking us on new adventures to see parts of the world most of us will never see. I'm so impressed with your ability to make friends with so many different people all over the world. You're a one woman United Nations.

You know Eli, what is the capital of Australia was a question on a US TV game show ? Do you know a majority of people thought Sydney was the capital. I was shocked that so many people are ignorant, even in the age of the internet. Travel definitely opens your mind and makes you very knowledgeable about your surroundings.

I knew you'd enjoy Australia, Hope you get to Ularu and Kata Tjuta (in winter not summer).

There are more impressive mountains in Australia that aren't as high (mount feathertop) but in winter the snowies comes to it's own as a winter wonderland, we actually get more snow here in the alps than Switzerland.

Ye Eli friends your welcome in India❣️❣️ lot a love from India ❣️

Hmm, should I question a Russian and a Chinese wandering around our capital? Hehe, nah, pretty normal. I hope you enjoyed Canberra and the snowy mountains. You’ll love Melbourne, very similar to Sydney.

Eli if you check out some of the missing 411 stories. You will never hike alone again

Thank you for the interseting videos about Australia. Greetings from Bulgaria. Congratulations on climbing three mountain peaks. I have read a lot about Australia and have seen videos. Allow me to add my comments on this State and Continent. You live very far from Europe, America, Asia. You cannot make an excursion, because there are dangers everywhere: snakes crocodiles, scorpions, and in the sea - dangerous jelly-fish. I have recently seen videos of the American Gabriel Traveller about Australia. He showed the town of Cairns in Queensland. He was careful about crocodiles when he went to the beaches and he read warnings about crocodiles. The beaches were empty, maybe it was not the high season, and I saw net enclosure in the see and on the sand against crocodiles. Two men from Bulgaria shared the following: A snake entered the washing machine in his home. The other man shared that he found big cock-roaches in the kitchen of his appartment in Sydney.

Very good video Eli! Give us more like this!

You're a star . . . what a statement on Russia vs the West (sorry, had to say it) Russian walk up mountain without breaking a sweat in sneakers while Australian wearing a mask takes a cable car. Hope if you do any mountain climbing in Canada, will challenge you. Cheers.

Another superb video, Eli. Thank you.

Can't believe how brave you are Eli. Setting off to climb Australia's highest mountain on your own, & camping out in Chinchilla in unknown territory. Enjoying your travel adventures and stay safe. If you ever get back to Australia check out Adelaide and surrounds in South Australia. Easier paced city with plenty to see in do. March April the best time.

I've never been to Mount Kosciusko so it was interesting to see your walk up and down the entire mountain. True, it's a small mountain by international standards but it so beautiful! It was interesting to hear your conversation with people young and old on the mountain with you.I like Vegemite too! an acquired taste I think. Your videos are interesting, wide ranging and informative Eli. I hope we see more of your work from inside and outside of Russia. All the best!. John lampe from sunny Perth, Australia.

Eli, it's great to see you experiencing a wide cross section of our great country. I've often wondered how we are seen by international visitors. Your excellent cinematography is as good as it gets. Maybe we shouldn't tell everyone about the wonderful freedoms and climate we enjoy all year round. Thank you for your stories.

Mt Cook/Aoraki on New Zealand's south island is also higher than Mt Kosciusko.

It's great that you're exploring the real Australia. So many vloggers just go to Sydney or Melbourne and think that that's it. All big cities are much the same. Looks like a lot of infrastructure around the mountain now. When I used to go there there was very little there apart from the road and the rocks.

love your videos and wish you success and a happy life 💯

Glad you walked the whole way, up & down. Nice to enjoy the mountain solo as well as visiting with lots of folks on top. Thanks for taking us along!

Very good Eli i enjoyed looking at your Brilliant Video Vlogs and i love you!!!😍🌹🌹🌹👌🏿👀

Thanks Eli that was cool, glad you climbed that "hill" When you come to Cape Town I will definitely climb the mountain with you.

If you ever get to Scotland, I'd suggest the Quiraing on the Isle of Skye. There's spectacular views and challenging hiking, but I won't be like climbing a big mountain.

How awesome! I guess I was expecting something else when you said you're going to the top of the highest mountain, lol. Not that, and with school kids. Still pretty cool. Great scenery!

I gew up in Jindabyne and now live in Canberra. Great to see my home towns finally getting some love!

Congrats on the third summit. That's cool that you decided to hike to the top and back. Your friend that you went hiking with seems very nice, too. 🙂

Bravo Eli, merci pour toutes vos aventures et votre sourire!

Very entertaining. Thanks Eli.

A lot of those scenic vegetation shots may have been done in a hurry, but they looked like elaborate vistas that took a long time to set up. Exceptionally professional artistry was the result. If you put a chopstick on each side of your middle finger and then work the leverage, you might find it easier to eat the Oriental way. Don't feel bad about bungling with the method--- I met a Korean lady who was about 45 and still didn't know how to eat with chopsticks. Kosciuszko was a big hero in the American Revolution, valued highly by George Washington and Thomas Jefferson both. His engineering genius with fortifications at the Battle of Saratoga in 1777 helped turn the whole war in favor of the colonists, and his foundational work at West Point gave the U.S. Army a place that trains officers to this day.

Thanks again what I like about these VIDEOS is that they are put TOGETHER so well. You learn so MUCH about the PEOPLE, CULTURE, GEOGRAPHY, it's so GOOD for PEOPLE who PROBABLY never get to these LOCATIONS COUNTRIES, or EVEN the CONTINENTS. IT gives all of us a FRONT ROW SEAT to the BEAUTY of FAR AWAY PLACES. 🦘🐨

I don't understand how you can hike up a thing like that without apparently even breaking a sweat. You must be super fit. I know it's not one of the sevens. But if you ever make it to the USA I think you'd have a great time hiking up Mt. Whitney.

Next peak Denali? Just kidding! First time heard about Mt. Kosciuszko. I will start climbing highest peaks of all continents with this hill.

Always love your work. Glad you love Australia. I also climbed Kosciusko with the school (or possibly boy scouts) when I was a child. Im 57 now. You are seeing some of the best natural sites in Australia which is why we love it, and why we get upset by our government destroying it. One day I will make it to Russia !

Congratulation's on 3 summits & 500k subscribers. ♥♥

Congratulations on your solo ascent and the Koalas did not attack you! There used to be a road there in the 1960s.

Eli, after that long hike up the mountain I need a nap, thanks and have a wonderful day.

Woohoo another awesome video from our fearless Russian intellectual ambassador 💐😉

Ha - I knew Canberra was he capital of Australia. You almost got me with that, thinking I didn't know what I thought I knew.

So cool - thanks for sharing & stay safe (I would have used the trail) 🤙🏼Boston

You're a fantastic host Eli. Yah, we already knew that. But it shines especially in a video about a country you didn't know much about. Very endearing. Great stuff.

Canberra! Great city but a tad boring! Btw it's cold! Keep up the good work Eli

This was a really nice video 🙂

Hi Eli, another hiking challenge when you're in Australia. Go to Tasmania and climb Frenchmans Cap or the more difficult Federation Peak. FP is the hardest hike up a mountain in Australia. You are very beautiful inside and out. Love your snowy Russian videos.

You're such a brave and awesomely beautiful explorer. Cheers

My great uncle, older brother of my paternal grandfather emigrated from UK to Aus in the late 19th century and married the daughter of an ex deportee (criminal), who claimed he was a doctor. It turned out he was prisoner on a ship from England and then when he finished his prison sentence in Tasmania, he studied medicine. He actually became a doctor in NSW and had family out there. Sadly no direct relations now in Aus, but I have my son-in-law's brother and the descendant of the "criminal", who I have met also and is a lovely Aussie. A cousin-in-law as we call ourselves. I can see the draw they got seeing this from your travels.

I more often comment when I like the video and this is definitely one of them. Thanks for sharing 👍👍

Always love your adventures!

Ezza from Dalby, Your videos seek out interesting places even locals don't visit-my parents came from Toowoomba but in nearly 80 years I have never been to Dalby, much less Chinchilla. Thanks for taking me there and to the (low level) roof of Australia-most houses, at least in the country and it used to be so in the cities, are single-storey! Your production values and music selection are superior to most other vlogs and, as for those KZfaqrs who can still get viewers to listen to rambling monologues or merely repeat the same inaccurate cliches...enough said. A single viewing of each of your episodes is not enough for me. Australia is one of the few countries that have legal measures encouraging people to vote. This ensures efforts are made to ensure the integrity of the rolls and that voting must be as convenient and well-run as possible. The Australian Electoral Commission is one of our most valued and trusted institutions. Consequently our change of government "ceremonies" are very low-key. As more people have had a say in the outcome, extremists don't prevail. To further this end, the Parliament and Civics Education Rebate provides a travel subsidy based on distance travelled for years 4-12 students to participate in excursions to Canberra somewhat of a rite of passage for many at the end of their primary school career. Some of the students you met were from a school in Sydney.

Years ago you could drive to an area just below the summit of our highest mountain. You got out of the car and went up about 10 steps and you were at the summit. Also years ago they had pink snow at Thredbo and on Kosciuszko. It happened when a cold front from the Southern Ocean and a dust storm from North Western Victoria collided. The red dust mixed with the water vapour and then fell as snow. I enjoy your travel blogs and the unbiased commentary. Enjoy your stay in Australia.

I love watching your Australian adventures! Thank you for sharing.

Great video Eli! You were so brave to climb this mountain alone. Australia is so beautiful and thanks to your videos we can admire its beauty even from above. Thank you very much

Eli, I am so pleased to see your videos and you produce them so well. Australia, a beautiful country and you stood on the tippy top of it!! Great, thanks.

Si me hubieras hablado cuando estuviste en Sydney, te hubiera platicado porqué Jindabyne es tan especial. Y macabro.

It doesn't matter where you come from, liking Vegemite makes you Australian, it should be the test for immigration to gain citizenship.

You are the coolest and most beautiful person in the world. Thank's for letting us come with you to the top.

Such good scripting and production values.

Thanks for another great video about my beautiful country. 😊

Eli, you have a great outlook on life! I enjoy your traveling.

Mount kosciuszko is part of what’s called the Great Dividing Range. The Great Dividing Range runs right up the east coast of Australia. So when you visited the Blue Mountains you were on the same mountain range. When I was going to school around 40 years ago, my school in Sydney took us to the snowy mountains where Mount kosciuszko is. During winter in Sydney it rarely snows, only maybe in the Blue Mountains, so going to the snowy mountains is the first time most kids in Australia see snow. When you were in the Blue Mountains it’s a pity that you didn’t go to see the Genolan Caves. You would have liked the Genolan Caves. A really amazing trip is going up the east coast of Australia by road especially if you travel the inland route to Charters Towers then east to Townsville. That is truly spectacular.

very good to see you made it to the top; it is always nice to see the view from the top of Australia; thankyou for sharing it; you made it look so easy;

Wonderful to see you enjoying my country. Best wishes to you on your travels.

Like those kids, I too remember at school we camped around for 5 days & climbed Mt Kosciuszko, it's a regular common thing, included was a visit to both Parliaments (New & Old) & the Australian War Memorial & the National Museum. Only time I ever had damper!

Spectacular, awesome and beautiful ❤❤❤ enjoy

I love that you interviewed the kids! I live in Canberra and haven't done Kozzy yet.

Beautiful hiking adventure Eli 😊

You always have Interesting adventures and when you share this topics, as a viewers we can enjoy the travel behind the screen.

Very intresting! Thank you Eli❤

Good for you Eli

I’m amazed. I wasn’t even going to watch this video, but I have to admit that even though the subject isn’t very interesting, the video is so well done that it held my interest till the end.

congratulations! one of your best!

Thank you mate, paka 💪🤠👌
